Here's something I don't really get. You get higher max population for settling near a river, lake, or oasis. The civopedia says that one reason for this is that rivers provide fresh water for people to drink and to irrigate their crops with. But aren't rivers mostly saltwater? At least, if they are fed from the ocean they are. But settling near the ocean only gives one bonus pop compared to the three you get from a river! Can someone help me reconcile this?
